Weekly Waffle #363 – Little Prospect
Weekly Waffle #363 – Little Prospect 18th January 2025 For this week’s weekly waffle I have decided to stay in the vertically challenged world of the Squats. Or at least I have in terms of content I can share with you. To keep the mojo flowing I have also done some work on my next batch of Infinity minis, all three of them. But that has been more about cleaning them up and getting them primed. The jobs that always seem to take way longer than I anticipate. So working away on these bits whilst working on the rest of the squats is my way of trying to plan ahead.…
Weekly Waffle #362 – Vertically Challenged
Weekly Waffle #362 – Vertically Challenged 11th January 2025 For this week’s weekly waffle we are back to what I would consider to be normal. Or at least as normal as I ever get. I’ve had a nice relaxing break and then back to work and it’s straight back to the carnage. Lots on with lots more in store. But I’m setting my store out nice and early by using my lunch time to get a bit of extra hobby time in. But to be able to do this I have had to make a couple of small changes. My desk can quite often be quite unorganised so I’ve got…
Weekly Waffle #361 – Retrospective
Weekly Waffle #361 – Retrospective 4th January 2025 For this week’s Weekly Waffle I’m starting by having a bit of a look back on last year. Then I’ll lay out what I have planned for the rest of the year. I’m going to start by summing up last year as a hobby success. Now I will clarify that a little bit by saying that I’m not defining that success on quantity or quality. But rather on consistency. I managed to bring you a newly painted mini for every update. That doesn’t quite mean every week because I had a few trips where I deliberately didn’t do a post on the…
Weekly Waffle #354 – Ultimate Bad Ass Boyz
Weekly Waffle #354 – Ultimate Bad Ass Boyz 9th November 2024 For this week’s Weekly Waffle I have a few more painted minis for you but I also have a waffle about gaming options. And that is what I’m going to start with. Tuesday night is when our game club meets up and it’s fair to say some of our group have a less than healthy relationship with Kick Starter. The number of new games we have dabbled with is astronomical. But very few have ever found their way into regular game play. On Tuesday a couple of people were talking about trying to get people interested in playing something…
Weekly Waffle #353 – Bad Ass #1
Weekly Waffle #353 – Bad Ass # 2nd November 2024 The first thing that I just have to bring up on this week’s weekly waffle is how it already November. Some weeks have really dragged this year but it really doesn’t feel like ten whole months have passed. I do feel like I have done a lot this year but this is just not right. Anyway that shock to system out of the way this week really has flown by. But for all the wrong reasons from a hobby point of view. It’s getting to really crunch time at work for the project I’m working on and that has an…
Weekly Waffle #350 – Emperork
Weekly Waffle #350 – Emperork 12th October 2024 For this week’s weekly waffle I’ve worked hard to try and get over the mojo block and get something finished for you this week. In particular I have been really struggling with a large cloak. But to try and get round this I decided that I didn’t need to have it perfect, after all I’m not painting this for a competition. But I did need to get it finished so I focused on good enough as opposed to this has to be perfect. After all non of my painting is perfect so as long as I was going to be happy to…
Weekly Waffle #347 – Little Flash Dance
Weekly Waffle #347 – Little Flash Dance 31st August 2024 For this week’s weekly waffle I have tried to get some of the admin side of the post done early and I’ve made better use of my commute so that I wasn’t at the last minute this morning. I’d like to think that I’ve done a reasonable job with no last minute updates or changes needed. So time management one oh one for this week got off to a good start. I’ve also spent some time on the commute reading and looking at the pictures of an AK interactive weathering book. I’m conscious that my attempts at weathering at the…
Weekly Waffle #346 – Hammer Time
Weekly Waffle #346 – Hammer Time 24th August 2024 This week’s weekly waffle has seen me complete my first full commuting week in a long time. Back before the days of hybrid working I would typically do a few days each week in the city. With rest of week being in my local office. Going into the city every day so far hasn’t been as bad as I first thought. Thankfully it’s still light in the morning when I have to get up which helps. And being on the early train means it’s not as busy as the later ‘commuter’ one. So I get a bit of space to sit…
Weekly Waffle #345 – Dredsmasha Helper
Weekly Waffle #345 – Dredsmasha Helper 17th August 2024 This week’s weekly waffle is all about the impact of having to commute into work every day has on my hobby time. It’s going to be a bit of moan but I’m also hoping there is some positivity in there. For the last few years I’ve been lucky enough to do what refer to as hybrid working. So I’m in the office a few days a week and at home for the rest of the week. Those days in the office tend not to be at my local office, which is about fifteen minutes from home. So there is quite a…
Weekly Waffle #344 – That’s a Rapt
Weekly Waffle #344 – That’s a Rapt 10th August 2024 This is my last weekly waffle before the carnage that is work really kicks in. I talked about it last week but from Monday I will be back in the office every day so hour or so I used to have in the evenings will be eaten up with the commute. I’ve also got quite a lot going on in my personal life at the moment so so finding that hobby time somewhere else is going to be a challenge. But I do want to stress that this isn’t me falling out of love with all things hobby. Or black…
